There will be a SL Coast Guard ship on-site; exact vessel will be announced.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Land and Event Venues<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The new land area is named Admiral’s Walk<\/em><\/strong>, and the existing land used in previous years is named The Hard<\/em><\/strong>. Music\/dance events will take place on The Mandy Carthage Leeks Tower<\/em><\/strong> (formerly The Spire), and other events on the dais at Admiral’s Walk. The Age of Sail battle (to be confirmed), Hotlaps and any other water-based activities will take place in adjacent Loorq<\/strong> ocean region and beyond.
